Understanding the letter template editor
When you're writing the content of your letter template, you'll probably want to write some generic text, and use the "placeholders":
These "pull" information into the actual letter when you're writing it. So, for example, the General.CurrentDate placeholder would pull in the date you're writing the letter! Cliniko is pretty smart, so it knows what information to put in place of the placeholder!
Confused? We'll help you understand placeholders a bit better in another article.
The text you include when creating the template can be edited when you're writing the actual letter. If you need to remove or add anything when writing the patient-specific letter, you'll be able to do so!
Creating a letter template is the first step. Next, you'll want to write letters, and send them off!
